Every time I start up the pbp the keyboard switches back to the default UK English, when I want US English. I have to manually switch it to US everytime. How I can make it save the setting? And yes, I hit apply.

Unfortunately, my Pinebook Pro has suffered from the failure of the mount that fastens the hing to the base.    I believe it may be because of tightening of the hinge on the USB-C side of the machine.

I know I need to order  a new top shell to repair the machine.   However, I'm worried that if the hinge is too tight, that the same failure will occur again prematurely. 

Should I consider trying to replace the hinges on the display too?   I'm not even sure that the hinges can be  obtained without purchasing a whole display ( which is probably impossible to get at the moment ).

Any advice or experience anyone has with repairing this problem would be appreciated.

All,

Has anyone had any experience using the Pinephone on Canadian wireless networks? Since even the smaller carriers buy time on the Big-3 networks (Rogers, Bell, Telus), there isn't much to choose from. I'm currently on Rogers with my iPhone, so I'm wondering if simply getting another SIM and using it on that network will work. I think it will, but I'm interested in hearing from the experience of others.

Best,

Graham

Hy, i'm currently developping calendar and contacts webapps using node.js as websocket.
I'm searching for all available CLI commands/systemd units doing the following :
- detect an incoming call and forward the phone number directly to a local URL.
- detect an incoming sms and forward the phone number and the message datas to a local URL.
- making a new call from the CLI (providing of course the phone number).
- sending a new sms from the CLI (providing the phone number to call + datas).
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Not sure if it's a software or hardware issue, but I'll start here first.

I retrieved my phone a couple weeks back and it will only work when plugged in and even then will not connect to my wifi.  It appears that I can not get the battery to charge and thus, it won't progress to allow wifi.  All ideas are welcome and thank you for your help.

I'm aware of the code available from Goodix on Github (https://github.com/goodix/goodix_gt9xx_public), but I was hoping to get official documentation on the registers and any other relevant documentation for driver development. I've looked through the datasheet on the wiki but unfortunately it only references "relevant registers" in the I2C section.

Is this documentation available, or if not, would it be possible to get it released?

Hi all,

I received my pinebook pro (May edition) and have been absolutely amazed by the quality of the product. Love the hardware and while KDE isn't my favorite environment I have managed to make it work for now (may try fedora cinnamon eventually).

The one issue I have had, and I have seen it described elsewhere is the intermittent issue of the screen not turning on with a power up. If I power down and turn back on then everything runs fine.

I have yet to see a good guide to fix this. Does anyone have a fix? Should I just wait for a future update? Thanks.

I've seen this question asked a million times but seemingly never in a thread of its own.

Would someone be able to generate a proper flash-able Sailfish IMG that doesnt require use of the flash-it script?

Flash it only works on native Linux hosts (i.e under a VM or container it will attempt to unmount the drive thus releasing the controllers shared access with the guest and cause the script to fail) ruling out anyone who is looking to flash on Mac or Windows without a complete script rewrite.

Plenty of people want to give Sailfish a spin but are left out in the cold by this so how's about we just start generating self contained images rather than multi-step scripts that are prone to failure?

The script just creates more headaches than it addresses.  

Thanks.

I recently reflashed Manjaro 20.10 to the emmc using the manjaro flasher app, but apparently it deleted the uboot because each boot now starts with bout 15 seconds of red light (the indicator on the top left of the keyboard), rather than directly switching to green light for the boot process.

Installing the manjaro uboot package didn't change anything. How can I reflash the uboot to the emmc?

Thanks
